Re: The Canterbury Project

I kinda like arch the way it is. Already free software stands up pretty good it's just that proprietary brands are a whole lot more advertised, therefore more known. For example I never knew about OpenOffice until I've installed linux and started to play along with it,searching for the right software that suits me.

For me it was a shock when I've seen for the first time that OOffice is just as good as the MS products and GIMP is almost as good as PhotoShop. Why ? , because I never knew that there are more than competent alternatives for software you usually have to pay. About 7 years ago I was convinced that free software mostly resumes to something lame and poorly developed, that you can't use for an actual serious business or work. After I've tried linux the way I was seeing things dramatically changed.

I believe this happens only because corporations developing proprietary products spend a whole lot of money every year only in advertising, making their products more known. So I really don't see how a Canterbury distro will make linux more known unless somehow affords spending milions of $ every year in this kind of advertising campaigns.

He he. It looks more like some sort of a brotherhood of the ring linux edition. I wonder which one will assume the role of smeagol. Just joking, the general idea is nice. I just don't believe it until I see it happen with my own eyes.

I was wondering who would post first such a thing :-) It's a pity that I'm at work now so not able to see what's inside this package. will have to wait 'til this evening. Anyway, this is already quite fun
